Hi All,

I've tried to find OS compatibility list on KDE web, but I'm not able to find which version of KDE I need to download for RHEL WS 4.6. I'm guessing that the latest ver. of KDE 4.3 will not install until I upgrade a whole bunch of other stuff... please let me know, thanks.

Which version of KDE shipped with RHEL4? If it is anything in the KDE 4 series, then you should be able to upgrade with minimal problems. If it is a KDE 3 release though you may have more problems. Anything less than that will likely be too old.

Red Hat is way, way behind on KDE. RHEL 5.3 ships KDE 3.5.4 (which was released in 2006, the most recent version is 3.5.10). The version in RHEL 4 is at least as old as that. It looks like RHEL 4 uses KDE 3.3.1 (which was released in 2004), but I am not sure. Someone I know was having problems earlier this year with printing in KDE with RHEL 5, and I had a lot of trouble finding out why. I turns out it was a bug that was fixed back in 2006 or something.

OT - I have CentOS 5.3, equivalent to RHEL 5, and printing works fine

It is a bug that happened in certain cases, I forget the details but it was a fairly basic task. Whatever the case he could not do what he needed to do because KDE was way out of date.
